Aussie team’s physiotherapist Brendan Wilson has also tested positive for virus.


Lahore: Australian Spinner Ashton Agar has contracted novel coronavirus Tuesday, a day after Josh Inglis tested positive for COVID-19.
Becoming the second Australia player to test positive for Covid-19 in past 24 hours, Agar has been ruled out of the entire ODI series against Pakistan.
Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed Agar’s positive Covid result on Tuesday afternoon, stating: “Australian spinner Ashton Agar tested positive to Covid this morning, making him unavailable for the one-day international series against Pakistan in Lahore”.
Moreover, Aussie team’s physiotherapist Brendan Wilson has also tested positive for virus.
On the other hand, all other players and staff returned negative results.
Agar's withdrawal means Australia only has 13 available players for the series opener, to be contested on today’s match at Gaddafi Stadium.
Moreover, Australia will also be without Mitchell Marsh, who suffered a hip flexor injury at training on Monday.
The visitors, however, have a very limited squad to choose from after Steven Smith was ruled out of the series with an elbow issue.
The second and third ODIs will be played on March 31 and April 2 respectively.
